Chapter 119 Meow
Special section for "Genius Baby Three and a Half Years Old".
At that second, a reminder sounded in everyone's mind:
"Ding Dong! The host [Jian Yunlan] has successfully cleared the plane you are in. The world line of this live broadcast room will become the 'real world line' of your plane and is being replaced..."
Then, all time stopped.
Before that second came, the men in black raised their beer glasses and clinked them, and the rising bubbles and orange-yellow beer foam stagnated in mid-air;
Huo Ye was arguing with Mu Mingqiu excitedly, their faces flushed. Huo Ye's mouth was wide open, and the expression on his face was frozen at that second.
Aunt Wang was picking up the garbage that had fallen on the ground. She kept bending over with her hands in the air.
The whole world, like a vivid drama on stage, was paused by an invisible hand. Then all the sounds, lights, colors, scenery and actors stopped moving.
...Except Ye Qingquan.
Ye Qingquan looked at everything around him in confusion.
Everyone's life was suspended.
But why was he the only one left behind?
Why can he still move and walk freely in this still time?
The previous second, Ye Qingquan and Lan Lan were sitting side by side under the street light, eating roast duck and chatting idly, the light softly outlining their shadows.
But the next second...
Ye Qingquan looked towards the place beside him.
——The seat where a little boy should have been sitting was now empty.
The little boy, the silver-white puppy on his shoulder, and the lotus lantern he always held in his hand, all disappeared.
"Where's Lanlan? Where is Lanlan?!" Ye Qingquan immediately panicked. This panic and fear seemed to be engraved in his bones. "Is Lanlan lost again?"
Subconsciously, he started circling around like a headless fly, searching for the location.
But as he searched, Ye Qingquan's movements gradually slowed down.
Until the final stop.
He lowered his head and looked at his empty palms. He felt his whole heart was empty, as if it was floating in mid-air with no place to go.
"Lan Lan...who is it?"
Ye Qingquan's expression showed pain, struggle, crying and laughing.
A sharp pain pierced his brain like a steel needle.
He couldn't help but squat down with his head in his hands, gasping for breath.
…In that burst of unexplained pain, in Ye Qingquan’s mind, a book was slowly blown open by the wind.
The cover of the book reads "The Overbearing Boss's Expensive Little Runaway Wife: The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old."
At the same time, countless similar and overlapping memories flooded into my mind like a tide.
In the memory that repeated over and over again, Ye Qingquan saw many...
child.
Those children were so cute. Without exception, they were all three and a half years old, with tender little faces and soft voices. They would look up at Ye Qingquan obediently.
They were both male and female, some were chubby, some were thin, and Ye Qingquan remembered all their names, "Xuanxuan", "Xiaomeng", "Vivi", "Haohao"...
In that life that repeats endlessly over and over again.
Those children, whose faces are familiar yet unfamiliar, are trying hard, smartly or clumsily to play the role of Ye Qingquan's children.
Many of them have received professional training, so they know how to smile in the most adorable way, how to tilt their heads and act coquettishly in the most pleasing way; they also know what kind of eyes to look at Ye Qingquan with, and what kind of voice to call him "Dad" in the most likely way to soften people's hearts...
The only thing that makes people feel strange is that those children sometimes suddenly make exaggerated or unnatural movements, as if they are trying to please some audience behind them through the camera.
But Ye Qingquan, who was in the situation at the time, didn't notice it at all.
And in that life again and again, facing different faces, Ye Qingquan had sworn countless times.
As a father, I have to protect their safety, let them realize their dreams and grow up happily. For this, he was willing to pay any price, whether it was compromising with Mrs. Huo or reconciling with Huo Ye.
And at this moment, when all the memories overlap and emerge.
Ye Qingquan finally discovered the glaring, blatant lie.
"They're all fake." Ye Qingquan covered his face with his hands, "I should have known this long ago..."
So many children.
So many childish and well-behaved "Dad".
But when reciting that word, among so many little challengers, not one of them was sincere.
In the real world, they already have parents who love them, and the only purpose of live streaming is to build their own fame and build a springboard for their future debut as child stars.
To them, Ye Qingquan was just an insignificant virtual character in a virtual book-traveling challenge. In their eyes, Ye Qingquan has no life and no emotions, and will always just be like a programmed robot, completing a fixed program.
Even the heart that Ye Qingquan held out seemed so insignificant.
But, it seems that someone is different.
Among those similar smiling faces, there is one person, only one person, a small figure who is unique and does his own thing, who is special...
Who is it?
Ye Qingquan tried hard to recall, but he really couldn't remember.
The pain in my brain became more and more intense.
Finally, Ye Qingquan fainted from the pain that felt as if someone was smashing his brain with a hammer.
The world returned to the silent darkness.
“…”
When he woke up again, Ye Qingquan felt that his whole body was wrapped in warm sea water.
There was still a quiet darkness all around, but this darkness did not make people feel scared. Instead, it made people feel at ease.
The waves of the sea are very gentle, one after another, gradually becoming faster like a heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom boom boom…
After the heartbeat, there is the sound of breathing.
At first, Ye Qingquan felt at ease staying in the sea water, thinking that it would be nice to fall asleep to the rhythm of the sea water.
But the faint yet deafening sound of his breathing and heartbeat made him feel anxious for some unknown reason.
There is some anxiety and expectation in the anxiety.
"Who is there?" Ye Qingquan couldn't help but look for the sound of breathing and heartbeat in the waves. He paddled through the waves with his hands and searched in that direction. Somehow, he floated to the shore from the sea.
The boundless darkness was broken.
Under the quiet moonlight, Ye Qingquan felt something appear in his empty arms.
He looked down—
In my arms, there is a swaddling cloth.
A newborn baby lay safely in the cradle.
The baby was sucking his thumb and seemed to be in a deep sleep, but his little nose opened and closed, and occasionally raised slightly, which was very cute. The newborn baby's facial features have not yet fully developed, but for some reason, Ye Qingquan has a premonition...
This child will have a pair of round black eyes, just like the sea water.
...Just like this kid's brother.
Ye Qingquan couldn't help but lower his head and put his heart close to the baby's heart.
The two hearts, one big and one small, gradually began to resonate.
This is, his child.
Brought into this world by Ye Qingquan, Ye Qingquan's child will be protected, raised, and watched by him step by step towards the future.
For some reason, listening to that young heartbeat, Ye Qingquan's eyes became a little moist and his throat gradually tightened.
“Woo, woo!”
The baby let out a small groan of discomfort from his throat.
Ye Qingquan didn't care about being sad and hurried to check it out. When he checked, he found that the baby in the cradle had a piece of paper in its tiny fist, which read:
【Roast Duck Voucher】
[Note]: When you turn 18, you can use this coupon and go with your dad to find Brother Lanlan at the Happy Stall to get a freshly-baked roast duck!
Ye Qingquan: “…”
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and cast his eyes towards the note.
"Lanlan, you really are..." Ye Qingquan shook his head helplessly.
Sudden.
The baby next to him struggled violently and burst into tears.
Baby: "..... woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
"Good boy, good boy, baby."
Ye Qingquan had raised so many children, but he was still a little flustered when he suddenly had a newborn baby.
Ye Qingquan tried everything, whether it was making faces, singing lullabies, patting the baby's back, or rocking the baby... but nothing worked.
The baby's cry became more intense, even heartbreaking: "Wa ...
Ye Qingquan: “…”
Ye Qingquan was so anxious that he was helpless. He said quickly: "Baby, do you know that you have a brother named Lanlan... Daddy will tell you the story of brother Lanlan, okay?"
Unexpected.
When Ye Qingquan mentioned the name 'Lanlan', the baby's crying gradually stopped.
The baby opened his eyes wide, sucked his thumb, and looked at Ye Qingquan curiously.
The little expression on his face seemed to be saying, "Tell me more, I want to hear it."
Ye Qingquan was also stunned.
After a long while, he curved his eyes and put a smile on his face.
Ye Qingquan gently held the baby's fist and whispered, "Your brother Lanlan is a very cute and powerful person. He really likes to set up stalls."
"When you grow up, if you see a busy food stall on the street, it might be run by Brother Lanlan..."
Ye Qingquan held the baby in his arms, rocking her gently, and slowly told her Lanlan's story amid the gentle sound of the waves.
The moonlight lengthened the two shadows, one large and one small.
Ye Qingquan told this story for a long, long time.
.
At the same time, Wanjie live broadcast room.
In those few seconds, hundreds of thousands of old viewers flooded into Jian Yunlan's live broadcast room. The huge amount of data directly caused the entire system to crash.
...This was something no one had expected.
But this is not accurate.
Some people have been preparing for this moment.
In the top floor room of Wanjie Live Broadcasting Company, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Gong Siyuan, the general manager of the Bloody Stories Department, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to the person in front of him with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Ning, I guarantee you in the name of the entire Wanjie Live Broadcast Company that there will be absolutely no problems this time!"
"We used the most advanced plane-jumping technology to ensure that we can directly transport Boss Jian to the Myriad Worlds plane without passing through the Myriad Worlds shuttle train, leaving Boss Jian no chance to jump out of the train and escape..."
Hearing this.
The young man sitting opposite her snorted coldly.
